New Sram shifters and derailleur in place (love them!!). Now, just gotta get the width of the bars dialed.

I definitely was playing with my in and out hand position. When I had my hands resting on the shifter in a comfortable braking position, I felt like I was going to pitch over the front of the bike and the whole front end felt really twitchy. When I moved them to the end of the bars, I was afraid that I was going to smack a tree in some of the narrower sections of trail.

I think, all in all, that shifters/brake levers need to go out about 1/2″ further and it’ll be very close.
